On Friday 8 July, Zespri and the kiwifruit industry will stage an afternoon of rugby, netball and host a charity auction at Te Puke’s Murray Salt Stadium to raise money for our Recognised Seasonal Employer scheme (RSE) workers and their communities.

We’re looking forward to a great day of sports, Pasifika food and music and a charity auction. The event will also be an opportunity for the kiwifruit industry and the Bay of Plenty community to show their appreciation and support for our RSE communities.

The event will kick off with curtain raisers between Toi Arikikura and Pacific Island invitational U18 teams, followed by matches between kiwifruit industry invitational teams and the New Zealand Parliamentary Rugby and Netball teams. 

We welcome everyone to join us for the event and to get involved by attending the games, the auction or by donating to the cause or auction.

Gates open 1pm with the first game kicking off at 1.30pm.
Admission is free and food and non alcoholic beverages will be available for purchase onsite.
BYO Alcohol is not permitted at this event.
